Nutty Stepmum's Club (NSC) - Who Wants To Join Us?

[SadSam]

Howdy!!!! Squirrel 3 and I have decided that as we are a bit nutty, we'd like to set up the Nutty Stepmum's Club or NSC. If anyone would like to join us, please add to this post and prove that we are not the only nutters out there!

We would like to add a little bit more nuttyness to our already insane lives!!!!

LOL at still being a stepmum cos you can't resist a challenge! I can relate to that!!

My Dad loves fishing, he has for as long as I can remember - river fishing tho not sea cos we live too far away

Just spoke to DP - apparently for the petrol flap there's a button you have to press at the side of the driver's seat so I don't feel quite so stupid now

Have a lovely weekend, talk to you Monday

Thanks - you too

Enjoy yourself

BOO!!!!

That's it, I'm hooked - I've come into work just to see what's happening on MN!!

Only kidding

Got dsd's laptop here so I'm on that!!

{grin]

NAAM, make sure you delete the 'history' and its not set up to remember your password and automatically log you in, or dsd's BM may be able to log in as you, find out who you are and create havoc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Squirrel

Yes I did think of that, although dsd only uses the internet at our house - they don't have access at home but I did do it just in case!!

How was your weekend?

Phew!!!!!

Thought we were going to have an irrate BM on line with us!!!

It ok though, I'm sure we would have 'sorted' her out! an irrate BM is no match for a group of nutty stepmums!!!!!

P.S Would you believe it, I cooked a wonderful meal Friday, opened a bottle of wine, we were having a lovey time, then all of a sudden I developed a really high temperature and a migraine type headache.

Been ill all weekend, got some kind of flu!!!!!

Oh dear Squirrel

On your first weekend on your own too - poor you. Hope you get better soon, and hope DP pampers you and looks after you while you're ill

How was your weekend?

Don't keep up with the football, did England win?

Yes they won 1 - 0 but they didn't play fantastically! We had a great time tho, really enjoyed it. Means they're through to the World Cup finals in Germany next year. We won't be going there tho unfortunately - love to but it'd be too expensive!

Glad you enjoyed yourself!

I need tea and toast

and then maybe a visit from the doctor

Morning Squirrel and NAAM. Sorry your not feeling well Squirrel, I too have been poorly all over the weekend, still feel rough as hell today but have dragged myself into work more fool me!

Hello FANC, maybe you should see my doctor too!!!

Good morning FANC

How's things with you? Apart from feeling rough that is...

Thanks Squirrel and NAAM, I would love to see your doctor Squirrel

Things arent too bad thanks NAAM, I was supposed to be going to see step kids this weekend with DP but at the last minute my dad decided to come down and start doing our new bathroom for us so didnt think it right to bugger off and leave him. Quite gutted really, was looking forward to seeing the kids and DPs mum and dad. Never mind, there's always next month.

Things are still a bit strained on the whole, feel like we are both walking on eggshells a bit. Me not feeling top hole all the time doesnt help. The slightest thing gets me down and working 8am to 6pm with no lunchbreaks isnt helping either. I leave home at 7.15am and dont get home til 6.45pm. Bloody long days!!!!! I think I am totally exhausted, I really need a break. I wish we could have had a holiday this year (aswell as the week away camping with the kids). I just feel like we dont ever stop!

Anyways enough of me whingeing, how you all doing?

FANC, They are really long days, I'm always telling you that you work too hard!!!!

You do need a break, why are you at work if you are ill, got to admit if I was you I'd use it as a very good and valid excuse to take it easy for a couple of days.

Tell your boss its no good you just feel too ill and you need to go home and make an appointment with your Dr and get some time off!

Easier said than done I know! Try to take it easy.

FANC I agree with squirrel - you need a break, even if you don't actually go away anywhere a few days off work will do you good and help to recharge your batteries

Tell your boss we said you could have a week off

Thank you both, as the boss is away today, im actually doing his job and mine so a bit difficult! I actually had a bad virul infection a couple of months ago and was signed off for 4 weeks, Ive not felt right since. My bossy had an eppy (sorry bit of Vicky Pollard coming out there lol) when he knew I was going to be off for 4 weeks. They just cant cope without me! lol

In that case FANC you should ask for a very large pay rise

Hmmmmmmmmm tried that one NAAM boss went hysterical and I think the words "your aving a giraffe" were mentioned. lol

What about change of job? Or there's the good old pack your bags and run off to a nice hot sunny place leaving it all behind......

This thread is MASSIVE!! Fair play...random chat is definatly good for the soul.

Now back to business..

My SD stepdad has just had a really serious accident and is facing a long stretch in hospital. At a loss as to what we can do to support SD without being too interfering!? Feel bad, but I can't talk to Ex as that would be two faced. Still don't like her but this is awful and would never have wished anything bad to happen. Shame I dislike her as I feel like maybe I should call or something...what would you do?

Hello reflection

I don't know a lot about your situation but if that was me I wouldn't call BM - I don't get on with mine either - cos I wouldn't feel that it was my place to get involved. By all means support your dsd of course if she wants to talk to you about it but personally I would leave it at that

IMO there really isn't a lot you can do anyway - apart from perhaps agreeing to look after dsd if BM wants to go visiting on her own?

Hello Reflection, I agree with NAAM, all you can do is offer to look after dsd while BM goes visiting. Just be there for dsd if she wants to talk etc.

Don't forget if you need to talk at anytime we are here for you reflection, or you can just join in with the idle banter and have a drink with us!

A virtual drink is the only kind I can have at the mo, dp dragged me to the Dr and I've got a nasty chest infection , I'm sure the Dr made a mistake with the anti-biotics though... these are meant for a bloody horse surely!!!!!!!! How am I suposed to swallow them? They're huge!!!!
